Legendary in Anatolian cultural memory, the Amazon women are described in ancient sources as warrior communities believed to have lived along the Black Sea and Aegean coasts. Celebrated for their courage, horsemanship, and archery skills, they are remembered as women who established their own social order in defiance of male-dominated warfare traditions.
According to mythology, Amazons are associated with regions around Samsun (Amisos), Terme, and Amasya, and are believed to have contributed to the founding of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. Over time, Amazons became enduring symbols of female strength, independence, and resilience within Anatolia’s historical imagination.
Traces of Amazon imagery and narratives can be found on artworks across Anatolia and in major museums worldwide, including:
Samsun Amazon Village & Amazon Statue (Samsun West Park): a thematic site dedicated to the Amazon legacy
Temple of Artemis (Selçuk, İzmir): traditionally linked to Amazons; Amazon references appear in Artemis iconography
Pergamon Altar (Pergamon Museum, Berlin): friezes depicting scenes associated with Amazons
Istanbul Archaeological Museums: reliefs and terracotta figurines featuring Amazon imagery
The British Museum (London) & the Louvre Museum (Paris): ancient vases and sculptural fragments portraying Amazon battle scenes
